La música cristiana es de origen judío: la liturgia musical de la sinagoga, en particular el canto psalmódico de los judíos como unidad poética musical, fue un legado preciado transmitido del Israel antiguo al cristianismo primitivo, como forma de manifestar tanto a nivel personal como comunitario las creencias religiosas y la fe en Dios.
It's been a long long time since
Since I've spent some time with you
I'm seeing lonely moments
Seeing lonely truths
A distant tone has come to me
And now I find I'm missing
That old familiar tune
A song your heart has played me
A rhythm I once new
So lay me down at your feet
And sing the words that you know I need
Cause I'm here I want to hear your heartbeat
Please put your love around me
And just let me know
That you're here
Now I'm an arms reach from you
From the lover of my soul
And so ill fight the current
I'll fight the undertow
Help me swim away from
Where my weakness grows
